thanks for the tips they were helpful

ooopsy. i think my gardenia tree is trying to commit suicide. it hates me

It's been a while, my gardenia plant lives & gets thick with foliage twice a year(spring & fall) but has yet to bloom, not even once. Have just about decided that it's out of its' blooming comfort "ZONE", It may just stay too hot here & ideal cooler temps don't stay around long enough for it to bloom. Too bad, because I love the aroma of a Gardenia bloom .

I wish you could spell that little "grafty"what?? gardenia?? so it wont go yellow..
The rest is obvious.

great info...thanks for the tips

I was given a gardenia plant as a gift. I have it in my house . Suddenly the leaves are all shriveling up. What's wrong with it?

What is that thing called that feeds it iron and prevents the leaves from turning yellow?

I planted 3 gardenia shrubs 6-8 years ago, they only bloomed maybe a couple of years. I've never pruned them and now I'm thinking of moving them to a different spot. The stem is rather thick, so I am going to cut them all the way down and up root the. Do you think they will survive?

Hello. Perhaps you can help my gardenia. It has a slightly acid soil, iron, fertlizer, constant moisture a large well-drained pot, sunlight... And no blooms.
What else does it need to blossom? Than you!

This is so misleading. Potted gardenias are the most finicky plants I know of. All conditions must be to their precise liking or they die within weeks or days. My gardenia does so well only because I pay so very close attention to detail. I Adjust the care with the time of year and observe the plant very closely for any change in it's leaves. I give it what it needs but in moderation because with potted gardenias the balance is very delicate.

Would a typical Miracle Grow Garden Soil mix with a 3 month feed suffice for transplanting a 6 inch Gardenia into a larger pot?
The last attempt at a home mix soil failed miserably, & it was a beautiful Gardenia plant that slowly withered & died through every attempt to nourish it.

I like gardenia flower

how do you keep birds from eating the flower buds? i counted around 30 buds and was left with two. and i know they didn't fall off since none were on the ground. they were very healthy too.

Thanks so much!!
